RWJF Special Report: Means to a Better End

Americans have only a fair chance of finding good care for themselves or loved ones when facing a life-threatening illness. That is the principal finding of a new report, Means to a Better End: a Report on Dying in America Today, presented by Last Acts, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation National Program Office. The report offers the first state-by-state statistical report card on end-of-life care and calls for specific action steps to strengthen care for dying Americans.

The RWJF Web site has launched a Special Report offering online access to the complete findings and recommendations, as well as interactive maps highlighting state rankings. This is a "must read" report and a powerful resource for those who are interested in end-of-life issues.
